Former Manchester City defender Danny Mills believes that the Etihad Stadium is the only realistic next destination for Lionel Messi should he leave Barcelona, but is not sure how the Argentine superstar would fit into Pep Guardiola's system or who he would replace in the team.
A public fallout between Messi and Barca sporting director Eric Abidal has led to suggestions that the six-time Ballon d'Or winner could walk out the Camp Nou exit door this summer.
The Argentina international has a clause in his current contract which gives him the option to leave the club for free at the end of the season, with City reportedly hoping to capitalise on his situation.
